wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: pause TCM on fast resume

2026-02-03T13:02:05Z

Not pausing it means that we can have the TCM work queued into a non-freezable workqueue, which, in resume, is re-activated before the driver's resume is called. The TCM work might send commands to the FW before we resumed the device, leading to an assert.

wifi: iwlwifi: mld: cancel mlo_scan_start_wk

2026-02-03T13:02:05Z

mlo_scan_start_wk is not canceled on disconnection. In fact, it is not canceled anywhere except in the restart cleanup, where we don't really have to. This can cause an init-after-queue issue: if, for example, the work was queued and then drv_change_interface got executed. This can also cause use-after-free: if the work is executed after the vif is freed.

wifi: iwlwifi: Implement settime64 as stub for MVM/MLD PTP

2025-12-16T17:52:58Z

Since commit dfb073d32cac ("ptp: Return -EINVAL on ptp_clock_register if required ops are NULL"), PTP clock registered through ptp_clock_register is required to have ptp_clock_info.settime64 set, however, neither MVM nor MLD's PTP clock implementation sets it, resulting in warnings when the interface starts up, like WARNING: drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c:325 at ptp_clock_register+0x2c8/0x6b8, CPU#1: wpa_supplicant/469 CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 469 Comm: wpa_supplicant Not tainted 6.18.0+ #101 PREEMPT(full) ra: ffff800002732cd4 iwl_mvm_ptp_init+0x114/0x188 [iwlmvm] ERA: 9000000002fdc468 ptp_clock_register+0x2c8/0x6b8 iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Failed to register PHC clock (-22) I don't find an appropriate firmware interface to implement settime64() for iwlwifi MLD/MVM, thus instead create a stub that returns -EOPTNOTSUPP only, suppressing the warning and allowing the PTP clock to be registered.

wifi: iwlwifi: Fix firmware version handling

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list. Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles. - Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC queue. Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle, but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy. Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet reordering. - Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths. - Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already did for Rx skbs). - Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric. - Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines. - Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for packets. - Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock pressure, improving the Rx performance. - Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory. - Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using cgroups. - Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection. - Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of RTT. - Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the connection RTT is low. - Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations. - Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload. - Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC 5837). - Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449). - Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL. - Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock. - Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC. - Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length, from Kees. - Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers. - Some preparations for slimming down struct page. - YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard. - Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly computed derived statistics and summarized system state. Driver API: - Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface. - Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for 100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification. - Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in zl3073x). - Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads IPsec and performs RSS. - Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default. - Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload. - Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload. - Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes. Device drivers: - Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support. - Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series. - Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control, and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET operations for PHY timestamping. - Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for reading the Rx ring count. - Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs. -

Pull 'at_least' array size update from Eric Biggers: "C supports lower bounds on the sizes of array parameters, using the static keyword as follows: 'void f(int a[static 32]);'. This allows the compiler to warn about a too-small array being passed. As discussed, this reuse of the 'static' keyword, while standard, is a bit obscure. Therefore, add an alias 'at_least' to compiler_types.h. Then, add this 'at_least' annotation to the array parameters of various crypto library functions" * tag 'libcrypto-at-least-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux: lib/crypto: sha2: Add at_least decoration to fixed-size array params lib/crypto: sha1: Add at_least decoration to fixed-size array params lib/crypto: poly1305: Add at_least decoration to fixed-size array params lib/crypto: md5: Add at_least decoration to fixed-size array params lib/crypto: curve25519: Add at_least decoration to fixed-size array params lib/crypto: chacha: Add at_least decoration to fixed-size array params lib/crypto: chacha20poly1305: Statically check fixed array lengths compiler_types: introduce at_least parameter decoration pseudo keyword wifi: iwlwifi: trans: rename at_least variable to min_mode

The subsequent commit is going to add a macro that redefines `at_least` to mean something else. Given that the usage here in iwlwifi is the only use of that identifier in the whole kernel, just rename it to a more fitting name, `min_mode`.

wifi: ipw2x00: replace use of system_wq with system_percpu_wq

2025-11-20T10:55:24Z

This patch continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which has begun with the changes introducing new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag: commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq") commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag") The point of the refactoring is to eventually alter the default behavior of workqueues to become unbound by default so that their workload placement is optimized by the scheduler. Before that to happen after a careful review and conversion of each individual case, workqueue users must be converted to the better named new workqueues with no intended behaviour changes: system_wq -> system_percpu_wq system_unbound_wq -> systemd_dfl_wq This way the old obsolete workqueues (system_wq, system_unbound_wq) can be removed in the future.

wifi: iwlwifi: mld: always take beacon ies in link grading

2025-11-12T07:54:46Z

One of the factors of a link's grade is the channel load, which is calculated from the AP's bss load element. The current code takes this element from the beacon for an active link, and from bss->ies for an inactive link. bss->ies is set to either the beacon's ies or to the probe response ones, with preference to the probe response (meaning that if there was even one probe response, the ies of it will be stored in bss->ies and won't be overiden by the beacon ies). The probe response can be very old, i.e. from the connection time, where a beacon is updated before each link selection (which is triggered only after a passive scan). In such case, the bss load element in the probe response will not include the channel load caused by the STA, where the beacon will. This will cause the inactive link to always have a lower channel load, and therefore an higher grade than the active link's one. This causes repeated link switches, causing the throughput to drop. Fix this by always taking the ies from the beacon, as those are for sure new.
